Dont do friendlies but will be going to the Fev game for Stilts next week. The derby games are being milked way too much now by the clubs, with 3 competitive games during the season and the possibility of more with cup and playoffs.

Thats fantastic news sheldon,thanks for giving us the benefit of your vast knowledge or did you have some inside info.

Only one dumb simpleton making silly comments this morning and that's Pearson! You have got to be a bigger idiot if you go out and by a ticket because of his war cry.

the guys a marketing genius, sales have just hit 18,500 after his
Churchillian speech

Here you go les.

I've just read Pearson comments This morning!
I read it as he obviously wants a few people in the doors at weekend, and mostly wants to reverse this trend of what's seemed like apathy even in league games regarding derbies from hulls side, starting as of now.
I was smiling as I read it then come on here and well I'm amazed at how much normally sensible posters have descended to hull daily mail comment's standard!

Maybe so but if it was reversed and Hudgell came out with that the forum would be full of "Small club mentality", "Cup final" etc.

So?

If it gets more people through the turnstiles who cares.

Nice to see Pearsons really wound a few people up this morning.

I still think we only see about 7k this sunday as the weather forecast will put a lot off.

Do you really think people are going to decide to go to a game on the back of some bluster from our chairman?

People will have already decided if they are going and those who are unsure will decide on Sat/Sun, for me all he has done is give Rovers supporters more ammunition to throw back at us.

Is anybody really that bothered though?

It's a chore as much as anything now this game

On the forum last night Radders stated he would be playing 23-24 players he'd spoken to Sandycrack who said he'd be playing all fit players 25-26, would expect a fairly competitive 1st half, end of the day its a trial game with no points at stake, neither coach will want to lose and equally neither coach will want to pick up any injuries, doubt that AP's sensationalised comments in the HDM will change how the game pans out.

Not bothered if we win or lose and nothing to shout about by the winning team whichever one it is, would hope to see Hull cross the whitewash a little more than at Bradford and tighter in defence.

Thurs 17th April is the first Derby that matters (unless we draw each other in round 4 of CC)

Still heard nothing regarding Magic but I hope it's not a Derby, as some one mentioned at the forum last night with relegation for two teams this season nobody should be entitled to an easy ride e.g Catalan v Broncos

@SuperLeague: The @SuperLeague #magicweekend fixtures will be announced at 2pm today! Who are you hoping to be facing the Etihad in May? #rugbyleague

A guy at the forum asked if AP would bring up to the rfl that both hull and rovers get harder games than a lot of other teams and with relegation and then the 3 split leagues if the magic weekend should be drawn out of a hat . Thought he had a great point tbf
